More about this title

About the Composer: Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a composer and lyricist whose work on Hamilton earned him a Pulitzer Prize, a Tony Award, and international recognition as one of contemporary theater's most innovative voices. Beyond Hamilton, Miranda has composed for film, television, and stage productions including In the Heights and Encanto, bringing hip-hop rhythms, Latin influences, and infectious melodic hooks to every project he touches.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the infectious energy of a Broadway finale without requiring a pit orchestra, and the call-and-response structure keeps singers locked into the groove from start to finish. The hook is genuinely memorable enough that your singers will leave rehearsal humming it, and audiences respond instantly to music this contemporary and spirited.

What to expect

Energetic and infectious. The song radiates positivity and fun without feeling forced or juvenile; it's the kind of finale that makes an audience leave smiling and your singers feel proud of what they've sung.

Who it's for

Treble choirs (SSA or SSAA) in middle school through early high school settings who thrive on contemporary, rhythmically engaging material. Directors looking to program something that connects with singers' own musical world while still requiring solid ensemble skills.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythm section (accompaniment) into a tight pocket from the opening; the groove drives everything, so precision with the recorded accompaniment matters more than lyrical phrasing.
  • Build the hook each time it returns by adding dynamic layers: the first iteration softer, the second fuller, the final one brilliant and boisterous as written.
  • Shape the call-and-response passages so the answering section lands with clarity and punch; clarity here is what makes the writing feel fresh.
  • Keep the text conversational and direct rather than overly legit; this song lives in a funky, positive space, not a classical one.

How to use it

Perfect for a spring or year-end concert where you want to end on an unmistakably upbeat note, or as the closer in a set of contemporary pop arrangements. The 20-page octavo gives you room to really drill the arrangement and get the energy exactly where it needs to be.

Skills your students will build

  • Call-and-response coordination between voice sections
  • Rhythmic precision in contemporary/funk-influenced contexts
  • Dynamic layering and building intensity across repeated sections
  • Singing through recorded accompaniments with rhythmic accuracy
  • Ensemble blend while maintaining individual line clarity
